I wish they'd use more of our taxes providing people with shelter, care and medication/ counselling, rather than sending it abroad. I can't think of anything more soul- destroying than having nowhere to sleep and no way of changing things. The problem is not that they look untidy- but that in this day and age we have vulnerable humans living rough, when a dog...

mmm, I answered this once, it disappeared into the ether.
The gist of what I said was, good idea. The foyer isn't designed for people to sleep in. I'd imagine some people felt uncomfortable 'clambering over'/seeing someone there when coming in/going out.
I always presumed pebbles were placed in concrete for aesthetic reasons and to make it harder wearing. Do you think its to make tramps uncomfortable? I must admit, I never considered that. ;-)

to be honest anne i can understand people not wanting the homeless to be in the space near their entrance to the flats due to what Svejk has posted
i think in the link i have posted in mentions a few plants that would look much nicer and do the same job
in manchester they have moved the soup kitchens out of the city centre to try and make the homeless stay out of sight in the evening

Homeless, helpless, jobless, poor,undernourished was the scene in 1948....but now after 60 years of State Welfare, we have homeless, helpless, jobless, poor and undernourished.
What have we done to improve the lot of the electorate?
We have taken money that i have "slogged " away to earn and given it to the homeless, helpless............etc etc.
Not much to show eh? except to provide "studs" to keep the homeless...etc out of sight.
Well worth it in my opinion.

It's a very visible issue in Manchester, especially down Oxford Road and into the city centre via Portland Street, you can see a lot of people sleeping rough, especially early on when I'm getting into town just after 6am on work days.
Probably before shops and businesses are opened up and they are thrown out of doorways, many of which probably need sanitising after, I know in one place I worked it was quite common to also have used needles and drug paraphernalia, urine and excrement. There is also a hygiene issue due to issues like infected leg ulcers due to drug use.
Metal shutters seem to be getting more popular, so no inset doorways, though likely other issues contribute, after the riots, football issues etc...
There always seem to be lots of beggars, it has caused issues with coffee shops, bars and food places which have pavement side seating and I heard a rumour of one thinking of getting security guards to deal with issues such as customers being harassed and getting abuse/aggression when asked to be move on. Intoxication by drink and/or drugs is a further factor.
There can be intimidation by cash points, outside shops, at bus shelters etc... and it getting more common to have beggars asking for money, on buses and trams where, like cafes and such, it is harder to walk away.
It's such a shame as, although some don't want the help, there are shelters and soup kitchens but they don't seem to be helping the issue much. I seem to see far more on a daily basis now than I have over the years.
